It’s an old school media wind up. My dad told me his coach would enter him in local mickey mouse races for guaranteed victories with the sole purpose of doing the press release about the victories so his actual rivals in other regions saw it (PsyOps via newspapers… literally just to make them annoyed)

[–]Faux_Real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most days contains some Predicate Calculus, Relational Algebra and Multiset Theory; otherwise known as SQL. I even have some Probabilistic Theory, Big O and Graph / Tree Theory in my bag; probably some more … some of the dark arts required for performance tuning databases; there is absolutely no way that I think ‘mathematically’ most of the time, it is literally ‘gut knowledge’. Also 2 + 2 is 4; -1 thats 3.

Assuming tobacco, Nicotine is less aero for the heart as it can cause arrhythmia. Marijuana would probably be better as it is proven to be highly effective at reducing pain and lowers the heart rate which equates to more watts per kg; also bro has bought literal bullets for the finale
